[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1017180, member: 48559"] Shoalwater, if it helps, I just finished load development on my 280AI, using berger 168VLDs and Retumbo. PacNor made the barrel with the Nosler/SAAMI spec reamer. I tested 6 COALs, starting 0.015" off the lands (which happens to be magazine length in my Savage 111) and shorter by 0.040" intervals back to SAAMI. Final best accuracy load is max COAL and half a grain over book max charge of Retumbo, which doesn't compress the powder. I wouldn't be worried about losing case capacity to the boat tail. Velocity is 3024 by chrono out of a 26 inch barrel. Doing the COAL test loads, the best group was 0.338", the worst (SAAMI length) was 0.911" @ 100 yards. I will be waiting to hear how you fare with the ABLRs. [/QUOTE]
